Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
Compensation Actually Paid and Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

As demonstrated by the table above, the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO Named Executive Officers is generally aligned with the Company’s TSR over the five year period presented in the table. While the Company does not use TSR as a performance measure in its overall executive compensation program, the measure of TSR is correlated with the performance of the Company which is consistent with the objective of aligning NEO compensation with the interests of our stockholders.
        
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income
As demonstrated by the table above, the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO NEOs is generally aligned with the Company’s net income over the five year period presented in the table. While the Company does not use net income as a performance measure in its overall executive compensation program, the measure of net income is correlated with the performance of the Company which is consistent with the objective of aligning NEO compensation with the interests of our stockholders. 		       
Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure
Compensation Actually Paid and Fee Related Earnings

As demonstrated by the table above, the fee related earnings steadily increased over the five year reporting period, while the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO Named Executive Officers fluctuated over the five year period. As described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” our compensation program also includes long-term performance fees and takes into account various factors, including FRE which is correlated with the performance of the Company, in order to create alignment between the interests of our NEOs and fund investors and stockholders, which impacted the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ as required to be calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

Name Fee Related Earnings        
Non-GAAP Measure Description Our company-selected measure is Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”). FRE, a non-GAAP measure that is a component of Realized income (“RI”), is used to assess core operating performance by determining whether recurring revenue, primarily consisting of management fees and fee related performance revenues, is sufficient to cover operating expenses and to generate profits. FRE differs from income before taxes computed in accordance with GAAP as FRE excludes net performance income, investment income from our funds and certain other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance. Fee related performance revenues, together with fee related performance compensation, is presented within FRE because it represents incentive fees from perpetual capital vehicles that are measured and received on a recurring basis and are not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments. FRE is further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measure within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Analysis—Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Fee Related Earnings.”
